How to Care for the Plant

Water
Summer is a time when your philodendron needs a most water. A plant is actively growing and a hot weather means that water will evaporate quickly from a plant’s pot. Make sure to check your plant daily and give it water as often as necessary. A deep drink once or twice a week should be enough to keep your plant happy.
Pruning
To prune a plant to encourage bushy new growth, snip off the dominant buds on select stems, staggering the cuts to encourage varied growth.
Fertilizer
Mix the recommended amount of liquid fertilizer and water in a watering can. Then simply pour the mix into the soil as if you're watering the plant.

Container

Additional
